Today

4270 Atlin, 1110 Bute, 3031 East 1st, 319 East 35th, 3603 Price, 515 Seymour, 5638 Trafalgar, 2425 West 45th, 1201 West Georgia and 1728 Yew still have their buildings from before 1946, 1110 Bute, 2425 West 45th and 1201 West Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3670 Cameron (2001), 3347 East 29th (1971) and 1636 Haro (1966) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1118 Haro, 806 West 13th, 2374 West 33rd, 1849 West 4th, 1497 West 7th and 1025 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
